• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the olive oil mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 5

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.

Step 6

Transfer the garlic dipping sauce to a serving bowl and drizzle over or dip with assorted colorful vegetables or crusty whole-grain bread.
